I wanted to write a poem for my moms
Because I can't see them today
I'll put it up on my Medium blog
In honor of Mother's Day
My mom, Lynn, or Lynnie to her friends
Is sweet as a mom can be
She's the only one I can tell everything
And hugs the best, believe me
If I couldn't be luckier to have a mom like Lynn
I have my stepmom Lisa too
She's witty and kind and loving and wise
And cracks me up every time
My boyfriend's mom Yolanda's in Guanajuato
So he sent love across distance too
Mother's Day was Thursday in Mexico
We'll see her to celebrate soon
Our loves for our moms, all of them
Honestly is what brought us together
We learned from them unconditional love
Is what we should strive to give to each other
We are lucky to have moms all around
Whose laughs and hugs keep us warm
Our neighbor Karoline, our friend Vivian,
My coworker Kate, and many more
I took a picture of a nice bouquet
From the farmer's market for this post
Pretty flowers always remind me
I should send them to all my moms more
It's the least I can do thank them for
All the love, patience, and cariño
Getting older I understand better
How much it is they really do
So hug your mom for me if you can
Or think of her if she's not there
Happy Mother's Day to every single one
And thanks for the love you share
